Breivik trial interrupted by angry man

The trial of Anders Behring Breivik was interrupted briefly by a spectator who hurled a shoe at the confessed mass killer and yelled "go to hell" before being escorted from the courtroom, witnesses say.

It was the first outburst from the normally subdued crowd watching the terror trial in Oslo's district court since the proceedings began in mid-April.

Journalists watching the proceedings on Friday in the courtroom and through a live broadcast at the court's press centre said the man got up and took off his shoe and threw it at Breivik, but missed. The shoe hit the chair of one of his defence lawyers, Norwegian broadcaster NRK said.

The man yelled "go to hell" and "you killer" before he was escorted out of the courtroom by security guards, a Swedish journalist watching the trial in the press centre told The Associated Press.

It wasn't immediately clear who the man was.

"Some spectators were uncomfortable. Some started crying. Many clapped their hands," Lindahl said.

The incident was a sharp break with the polite atmosphere that has reigned inside the court room, even as Breivik explained his killing of 77 people in a bomb-and-shooting rampage on July 22.

The far-right fanatic has admitted to the attacks but pleaded innocent to terror charges, saying the victims were traitors for embracing multiculturalism.

Gruesome details on how the last 12 of Anders Behring Breivik's 69 victims died on Norway's Utoya island were presented at a Oslo court on Friday.

Victoria Stenberg, who was 17 years old at the time, died of injuries to the chest and head, medical examiner Sidsel Rogde told the court in Oslo, using a mannikin to show where she was hit by three bullets.

Rogde described the injuries of other victims, including then 21-year-old Diderik Aamodt Olsen, who died of a single shot to the head. A 15-year-old, Kevin Daae Berland, also died of "injuries to the head and neck", she said.

Breivik has admitted to having carried out the July 22, 2011 twin attacks in Oslo and Utoya that claimed a total of 77 lives, but has pleaded not guilty.

After each autopsy report has been read out, a brief presentation is made of each victim.

The Oslo District Court was later to hear two witnesses who survived the shooting spree. One of them, Eivind Rindal, was among 12 youth who escaped from the island in a boat that was hit by 11 shots and sank when it reached the mainland.

The Breivik trial opened on April 16 and is scheduled to continue until June.

A key issue at the trial centres on whether Breivik will be considered accountable for his actions or not. Two psychiatric teams have reached conflicting conclusions on his mental health.

Should he be found legally insane, Breivik would be committed to a psychiatric unit.

In a related move, the government was later due to present proposals on how to shore up security at such facilities. The bill, dubbed Lex Breivik, seeks to reduce the risk of dangerous patients escaping wards or taking hostages.

Proposals included listening in on telephone calls, as well as strip-searches of patients and their visitors and deploying metal detectors, the daily Adresseavisen reported.

The Norwegian Bar Association and the Norwegian Psychological Association have criticised the proposals, saying more preparatory work is necessary.
